Panthers struggle early into the season

Between February 1 and February 10, 2018, the Hartnell Baseball Team competed in six games, in which they were unable to produce a victory. In this tough stretch the Panthers gave up a total of 63 runs and only produced 18 runs to combat their defensive let downs. The team now finds themselves (1-6) for their overall record recently losing to American River back to back with their first game falling 9-2 and just recently on February 10, they fell 8-0. It is without a doubt a disappointing start, but to Head Coach Travis Babin it is the best time for these type of things to be addressed and fixed for the long season ahead. Coach Babin expressed to his team after a loss to De Anza on February 6, where they lost 17- 10 that the team needs to learn from their mistakes and move forward in their progression. For the Panthers the season is not lost, as it is way too early to predict an outcome. What is certain though is the understanding within the team that they need to get better and execute what they learn through practice. They hope to capitalize on this motivation by snapping their losing streak against Redwoods. Go Panthers!
